Mission Drift

Philemon; Hebrews 1-4 

“We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away…how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation?...”

Hebrews 2:1, 3

Our tendency in life is to drift away from resolutions, disciplines, and anything that is costly to apply. The great salvation offered to us by Christ is more than a one-time sin-exchange. This great salvation is an invitation into relationship with Jesus, the Living Word, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit. The invitation is to pay careful attention to what we have heard from God and what we are hearing from God so that, in surrender, we will daily rest in him. As we follow Jesus, the Spirit of God applies the written Word of God to our hearts personally and keeps calling us back to obedience and mission. If we ignore God’s Living Word, we drift.

Are we listening in faith and obedience?

“Lord Jesus you are the Word and the Lord of the harvest. Lead me into greater fruitfulness and faithfulness, for your glory.”
